A turkish friend told me that you can buy Windoze XP for $1 on the streets of Istanbul. So, in some parts of the world, the competition is between two forms of "free" software.

One of them is a stolen product however. I personally don't believe in the US providing software welfare to the world, in any form. Our trade imbalance with foreign countries is great enough without us subsidizing them with freebies of anything.
